Off to NYC to visit my grandparents! #
So sad that sunset is so early that I barely finish dinner and reach the tennis courts before it's dark. Only can do running at home now. :( #
Just started watching the new show, "The Event". Already confused less than 10 minutes into the first episode. #
Happy Mid-Autumn / Moon Cake Festival! ^_^ #
Eating apple pie à la mode instead of a moon cake today. Close enough? >_< #
Yay, finally time for my one week vacation! ^_^ #

Fooling around with Adobe Lightroom today. Going to save me a lot of time vs. batch simple macros in Photoshop…once I figure it out. #
Great finale to the 2010 US Open! Nadal completes the career Grand Slam! #
Eating a whole assortment of Polish chocolates a co-worker brought in. Cherry, orange brandy, rum, cognac, plum, and advocat cream. #
Need to remember to not go through doors so fast. Bruised and cut my left hand when I didn't quite open the door enough while walking in. #
What a win for the Yankees tonight! First a top of the 10th homerun by Posada, then a bottom of the 10th throwout at 3rd to end it! #
If an airline ever gets these seats, I'm never flying with them…might as well install straps and poles like the subway. http://goo.gl/zjF9 #
Can't believe that the winner and the runner-up in America's Got Talent are singers again. :( #
Can't believe they actually painted the office's renovated kitchen yellow. Makes it look like a Mexican restaurant. #
A-Rod so clutch tonight! Pulled out a victory from the ashes of defeat! http://goo.gl/XjQY #

I love the US Open, but so far no really great matches this year. #
Feeling the sadness of Summer disappearing before my eyes. :( #
Let's go John Isner! Roaring right back, after being down two breaks in the 2nd set! #
Happy/Sad unofficial last day of Summer/Labor Day! ^_^/T_T #
Thinking about taking a day off next year to go to the US Open (non-weekend)…planning waaaaay in advance to use my vacation days. #
Why do they have to start the Nadal vs. Lopez match so late…they'll probably finish by 1-2AM at the earliest. :( #
Another cool Google doodle today (but not as cool as yesterday's)! Changes color as you type! #
The new Google Instant is awesome! Super fast! http://goo.gl/9sGE #
Some reason they decided to paint the office after putting in the new carpet. >_< #
I'm not a big Djokovic fan, but that Dragon hat/shirt he's wearing looks pretty cool. http://goo.gl/77rt #
Wow what a match between Djokovic and Federer…hopefully the final will be just as good. #
Mysteriously pulled a muscle in my back this morning and it's just as painful now as it was 9 hours ago. Chinese medicine didn't work :( #

Time to visit the grandparents in NYC (and pick up food)! #
Had an iced Nescafe after breakfast today (free promotion from the Asian Food Market). Almost as good as Starbucks fraps…almost. #
If you've seen Inception (or vaguely know what it's about) you'll find today's Foxtrot funny. http://goo.gl/jfgb #
Finally finished watching Salt (the movie). Terrific film that looks to be a great franchise (especially with the cliffhanger at the end). #
Time to take a break from CNBC and watch US Open Tennis! #
This week's movie is…The Expendables! Hopefully it's at least as good as Salt was. I know Arnold is in there somewhere… #
Putting off watching the Expendables for So You Think You Can Dance Canada and US Open tennis (with Rafa Nadal). #
The new iPod Touch they unveiled today is looking pretty good! Heavily leaning toward buying one. http://goo.gl/leWp #
Roddick = fail :( At least he threw 3 of his racquets into the crowd as freebies. #
mmm eating Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia while watching So You Think You Can Dance Canada #
Apparently Novak Djokovic didn't want to do the Federer between-the-legs "tweener" shot because he "has something else between [his] legs." #
kawaii! The new Kirby's Epic Yarn teaser! http://goo.gl/yb0N #
Yay, last long weekend of the summer! #
Movie time! Watching Iron Man 2 while eating some fresh cantaloupe! #
Finally finished watching both Iron Man 2 and The Expendables. Not very impressed by either, but Iron Man was the better of the two by far. #
